Chapter 30 Birthday Celebration
Edward's POV
It has been about a month since Bella and Jacob had stopped by the house to pick Carrie up to help with the wedding. They have stopped by every other weekend to discuss the wedding and do the things that were involved with that. Alice always went with her because she thought that it was fun. Also at one point she was planning Bella's wedding, when we were together. I always went with her because I was going to keep my promise of never letting Carrie get injured again. Jacob seems easier going around us since that first morning and he actually seems likable. The last time he came here he brought one of his friends from the reservation with him. Quil was his name; he seemed really shy and uncertain, but with Carrie's help he opened up. It's amazing how Carrie can help people when she has been through so much. When she first came to Forks she was very reclusive and closed off, it was a wonder that she could manage to get others to come out of their shells.
Anyways back to happier thoughts today is Friday March eighth which means that tomorrow is Carrie's birthday; she'll be turning eighteen. I remember how Bella acted when it was her eighteenth birthday. She was all mad because she would be older than me and that I hadn't changed her yet. And again I could not help but think of the differences between Carrie and Bella. Carrie has never once asked or tried to pressure me into changing her as Bella had on many occasions.
To get back on track the rest of the family and I have been planning a surprise birthday party. Well two actually, one for today after school which Bella planned that way people from school and the reservation could attend, the second would be on Saturday with just the family. Bella did the planning for the one today; she said that she wanted to celebrate also so we just left her in charge of it with the help of Alice of course. All of this was going to be a surprise. It seemed kind of weird that a girl that didn't want to celebrate her own birthday would want to do something to celebrate others.
We were currently sitting in the living room waiting for Alice to get done playing dress up with Carrie. I heard footsteps signaling that they were coming down. Emmett, Rosalie and I had to cover our mouths to prevent us from laughing. Alice had dressed Carrie in something that was … different. Carrie was wearing tight black pants that didn't flair but stayed skin tight all the way down her legs with a green, tutu like skirt that came down only two inches past her butt. For a top she was wearing a purple sweater with bands of lavender going across her body and down her arms. Over top of that was a black vest that was zipped up to the bottom of her chest around mid torso. To top it off she had on dark purple eye shadow, pink lip gloss; her hair was done into two high pig tails and she had on black boots. She looked like some sort of army pixie. Alice was dressed in something similar but not quite as … unique as what she had Carrie wearing.
"Why do I have the feeling that I should change into something else," Carrie said as she fiddled with the skirt obviously uncomfortable.
"Why do you say that Carrie," Rosalie asked curiously. I could tell from her thoughts that she thought Carrie looked cute in the outfit.
"Well I feel different and I don't like how these pants are tight. Plus a skirt that feels puffy over top of those. On top of that a turtle neck I'm wearing with a thin vest, and the pigtails… I just have a feeling that Alice has taken advantage of me being blind by dressing me up in something that makes me look totally foolish. Edward, show me what I am wearing," she said as she turned in my direction.
"Come on you don't look too bad. Besides we have to go to school," I said hoping to divert her.
"That proves it I'm going to go change," she said as she turned around and headed back to the stairs.
I just went toward her picked her up, tossed her over my shoulder, and began to carry her toward the garage. "Come on we are going to be late for school," I said trying to keep the small amount of amusement out of my tone.
"Let me go, we are never late for school we are always practically an hour early. Besides with the way that you drive we can never be late unless we actually left the house after school started for the day," she said while struggling to get loose. I just continued to carry her to my car with Alice following us closely with her backpack. I place her in the back seat and buckle her in. Alice gets in beside her and I get into the driver's seat. She tried to get out but I locked the doors on her.
The whole drive to the school Carrie is sulking in the back seat with her arms and legs crossed mumbling under her breath about tricky pixie looking vampires and unhelpful boyfriends. Alice and I just share a look by the rear view mirror and shake our heads. We arrived at school and we had a small struggle getting Carrie out of the car but she had no chance against us, vampire strength and all.
She continued to sulk as we stood around our vehicles. She only brightened up slightly when I draped a coat across her shoulders since it was still chilly out. It was a trench coat so she put it on and buttoned it up, completely shielding her outfit from view. When it was time for us to go in I shouldered Carrie's bag as well as my own, grabbed her hand and walked her to her locker. The jingle from the bells on her staff followed us as we walked along.
At her locker we had a little struggle... fight... debate, whatever you want to call it, over getting her to take the coat off. I actually had to grab a hold of her and take the coat off of her. When her locker was shut and she couldn't get back in I grabbed her and her bag and walked her to the English class. She actually pulled away to walk ahead of me, still pouting. The click of her staff on the floor and the ring of the bells announced her approach in the halls to the other students. Just like at home she has come to be able to move around more normally around the school; the bells let people know that she is coming and they move out of the way.
When we got to the English class I set her bag by her desk and pull her toward me, holding her in my arms. "Now are you going to be in this bad mood all day or what," I said. My answer was a raspberry. I could feel the eyes of the other people in the class on us. "What have I told you about that," I asked. She just shook her staff in my face. I decided that she needed a little punishment so I moved her in such a way that I was leaned over and I was the only thing holding her off of the ground. I was holding her like a dip in a dance or like the kiss scenes in the older movies. "I could just drop you, you know?"
"But you won't," she replied completely sure of this fact.
"Are you sure," I asked as I let her drop a couple of inches.
"Positive," she said completely unruffled by the preserved threat.
"Well if you're sure," I said as I brought her back up to stand on her feet, "I guess that I just have to do this!" I proceeded to tickle her very sensitive sides. She was squirming, trying to get away and we were both laughing. I stopped when I heard the tardy bell ring, meaning I just had a minute or so to get to class. I stepped away and headed to the door; before I went through it I turned back to her and said, "So are you going to answer my question? Are you out of a bad mood now?" She just turned toward me, crossed her arms across her chest and did another raspberry, with a little shake of her staff at me. I just shook my head with a small smile and left for class.
Carrie's POV
I stood there glaring in the direction that the door was, just in case he was still there. "What was that about," Angela said from my right. I could hear the others coming closer as well. Ahhh the gossip mongers.
"Our dear sister Alice decided to have some fun with me today," I said a bit sourly.
"What do you mean by that," Eric asked and he truly sounded confused as if he could not tell just by looking at me.
"Look at what the evil little pixie did to me," I said as I held my hands out to the side and did a little spin so that they could take in my whole outfit.
"What the heck are you wearing," Jessica asked and I could tell by the tone of her voice that I was right in my assumption. Alice had dressed me in some monstrosity.
"That is what I would like to know. It feels so different from what I usually wear. She knows that I can't see so she took advantage of that when she helped me get ready this morning," I said my tone angry. I knew I was going a little over board with the anger and irritation I was feeling, but darn it! I was never one to rely on others for anything and now I have to rely on others for practically everything. Being blind was getting on my nerves!
"Well I think that it looks cute," Angela said and I could tell she meant it.
"Yeah, it reminds me of Avril Levigne, the punk rock Sk8er Boi girl," Tyler said with amusement clear in his voice.
"Gee thanks Tyler, that makes me feel a whole lot better," I said with sarcasm. We all took our seats as the teacher came in. When she was taking attendance it was noted that today was my birthday. She wished me a happy birth day and said I could have an apple out of her fruit bowl or I could have a donut out of the box that she brought in for the English and language teachers. I took the apple because I prefer that over a donut; I've never had much of a sweet tooth for things like that. We didn't do much in that class today we just talked about current events and things like that.
Edward was waiting for me today instead of Emmett and he walked with me to class. "Are you still mad at me," he asked as he put his arm around me.
"If I was is there anything I can do about it now. People have already seen my outfit so there is no use hiding it now," I said feeling my irritation flare once again.
"Just admit it you can't stay angry at me anyways," he said with a grin.
"Oh and why is that," I asked raising my brow in question as I turned my head in his direction.
"Well I'm devilishly handsome and charming," he said in a boastful way.
"You forgot to mention your big ego," I said as I rolled my eyes then pulled away from him and gave him a little rap on the behind with my staff before I stepped into my class. Before I could take my seat after setting my bag down, someone grabbed me and picked me up from behind.
"There she is," Emmett said as if to a little kid, "there's the little princess." He was currently swinging me around and making me dizzy.
"It's only been what an hour, don't tell me that you missed me already," I said as my head rolled slightly from side to side from the movement.
"What can't I miss my little sister," Emmett said as he put me down. "Besides, just look how cute you are," he said as he held one of my hands above my head and proceeded to spin me around like a top.
"And I think you are trying to make me so dizzy that I can't walk straight for the rest of the day," I said as I pulled away and attempted to stand up straight and not fall down. I wobbled a little feeling the effects of vertigo as I tried to reclaim my equilibrium.
"I heard that something special was this weekend," Ms. Simon said as she came in and sat two extra large cups of coffee on her desk. "I heard that Carrie Hale has a birthday tomorrow. So you'll be turning 18 tomorrow, and adult. I bet that that's exciting."
"I guess, just another year that I have survived, a higher number to go with my name," I said with a shrug. Birthdays had long ceased to mean anything to me. I felt Emmett put a comforting hand in my shoulder and gave a little squeeze. I reached up and patted his hand. I had not meant to make him feel remorseful.
"Well being such a cool teacher that I am, I'm not going to assign any homework for the weekend," Ms. Simon said. The rest of the class let out some cheers at that. Of course Ms. Simon had the class sing happy birthday which was embarrassing. To make it even more so the entire time Emmett was playing with my pigtails like they were reins. I shooed his hands away but he just started messing with them again a short moment later. (The length of the hair is a couple of inches past my shoulders.)
Class was much the same as usual; working in our groups doing a packet that the teacher had given us. When the bell rang I packed up my stuff and stood up, but before I could grab my bag, Emmett picked me up and was holding me under his arms like one would a football. (I was mainly sideways to the ground.) "Put me down Emmett, I can walk on my own," I said exasperatedly. He just ignored me as he carried me through the halls to my next class talking excitedly about this that and something else. I will never get use to the public manhandling my new family seems so use to doing to me.
Emmett carried me through the halls until we ran into Rosalie, he put me down then. When I was back on my feet I smacked Emmett in the arm and turned around in a huff. I heard him laugh and Rosalie came up beside me listening as I muttered under my breath. She just bumped her shoulder with mine to get me to stop then grabbed on to the staff held in my hand and pulled me into class by it. In physics I was once again wished a happy birthday by the teacher and class and then we took our usual Friday test so it was quiet during this time.
After class as I was walking out with Rosalie I was surprised when I found myself in an embrace and being lifted up. 'What is it with people picking me up today?' It was getting old fast. It was also a bit startling since I can't see it coming. I never know who it is that grabs me, if they are friend or foe or if their intentions are good or bad.
"It's because your reactions are so amusing," Edward answered my thought and I exhaled with a shake of my head easing away some of the stiffness of my form.
"Are you so bored that you decide to pick on me to get your entertainment," I asked a little peeved.
"No, but I figured that you might like it," he said as he put me down. I could tell by his tone of voice that he was pouting slightly. He is so lucky that I don't like seeing him sad.
"Fine," I said in defeat. I could feel the happiness coming off of him. He pulled me to him so that I was facing him and he picked me up in his arms. I was facing this way because of my book bag on my back. He picked me up high enough where I could just barely stand on my tip toes on his feet though I wasn't putting much weight on them. He held me close as he carried me to our biology class. It felt weird and I could feel the people staring at us and hear their whispers, but it makes him happy. When we came to the door for class he set me down so I could walk in on my own two feet.
Edward grabbed my hand and led me to my seat. I just got a pencil out for we were going to be taking a test today. It's supposed to be over everything since Christmas break as a 'review guide' for the second semester midterms that were going to be taken before spring break. Again when the teacher took attendance he noted that my birthday was tomorrow and as a present he gave me a bonus point on my test. He didn't want to give me more than that because it would have been unfair. For the test I sat in the back with a teacher's aide so that the teacher would be free to answer any questions if needed.
After class Edward was waiting for me since I take longer now to take the tests. He held my hand as I dropped my books and things off at my locker. Edward had already done so with his things as he was waiting for me. "Bella says happy birthday by the way. She would have told you herself but we had the test and you take longer now, so she left me with the message to tell you," Edward told me. "Don't worry I thanked her for you."
"So you're my spokesman now," I asked him teasingly. He retaliated by dropping my hand and proceeded to tickle my sides. When he arrived at the cafeteria he ceased his attack on my sides and held the door open for me; he is such a gentleman. We came to the table as Rosalie arrived with a tray of food. The Cullen's are back to buying food again but they get things that they can take home to save them for me later. Rosalie had gotten me chicken nuggets with barbeque sauce, a roll with butter, cheesy potatoes, peaches and strawberry milk.
"Thank you Rosalie," I said as I sat down in my seat. (If I hadn't mentioned it they were sitting like they were in the movie with Carrie in between Edward and Rosalie. They occasionally sit in different places but this is the main sitting arrangement.)
"So what do you want for your birthday Carrie," Alice asked eagerly. I could just picture her sitting at the edge of her seat with her hands clasped on the table with her constant smile on her face that would be just a tad bit larger.
I 'looked' at her, well faced her direction, in confusion. "I haven't given it any thought to be honest. I'm used to not thinking about it. Before I usually got a beating from Thom, that's how I figured out when roughly my birthday is. It used to last from the seventh to the eleventh so I chose a day in between that I liked to be my birthday. I never really celebrated it before, I used to stock up on healing herbs, water and clean rags so I could take care of myself and any injuries I may have had," I said nonchalantly.
"But if you were able to ask for anything what would it be," Emmett urged.
"I don't know I already have everything that I have ever wanted. I have a family to call my own, loved ones, friends. I have a home, a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, and food and other things so I don't have to dig it out of the trash anymore," I said as I scratched the back of my head with an embarrassed smile on my face. I felt Edward gently take my left hand and hold it with both of his.
"There has got to be something that you don't have that we can get you," Rosalie asked.
"Well there is one thing, but it will be impossible now," I said dismissivly after I gave it some thought.
"What is it," Edward asked a hopeful tone in his voice.
"Well I've always wanted a motor cycle, but without my sight I won't be able to get an operator's license for it," I said with a small chuckle. They too chuckled at that, and I continued to eat my lunch. When I finished eating Edward pulled me closer to his side and I rested my head on his shoulder and his arm around my back, holding my side. I heard Jasper get up and take care of my trash for me. When the bell rang Edward placed a kiss on my forehead before Alice hooked her arm with mine and walked with me to my locker then to class.
In math class, the teacher was the only one all day that didn't wish me a happy birthday. We went over our homework and were given the rest of the class time to get started on the one hundred problems that he assigned as homework. He allowed Alice to work with me as long as we didn't get too loud. She did a problem and then she would help me with the same problem. We got about twenty questions done by the time the bell rang.
Alice and I walked to gym much the same way that we did on the way to the math class. We were surprised however as we arrived outside the gymnasium for everyone was gathered outside of it since all of the doors were locked. We stood over with the rest of the family as we waited for someone to open them. Eventually an older man came and apologized for being late. He explained that he was the substitute teacher for the regular teachers had to leave for some reason. He told us that we could do whatever we wanted since he wasn't left with any directions on what we were supposed to be doing that day. The bleachers were pushed in so we sat in a corner away from everyone else.
I lay down on my stomach next to a sitting Alice who was being held by Jasper, hoping to get some more work done so I wouldn't have as much to do during the weekend. Before I could get to work though I felt someone pick me up and brought my back to their chest. I brought my knees up so that my feet were flat on the ground. I felt a pair of legs move under mine so that the person was sitting Indian style; then a felt a weight being placed in my lap.
"Now let's see how much of this work we can get done, shall we," Edward said next to my right ear. I knew that it was him to begin with because of the way he felt and the way that he smelled. Everyone of my new family has differences that I can detect with my heightened senses that helps me to identify them. Edward allowed me to see what I was doing, but I was still confused about it, so he tried to explain it to me. He made it sound so easy yet it was still like Greek to me.
The teacher actually came over to us a few times and said that we were being inappropriate and to separate. The first time I moved to sit beside Edward, my back against the wall, but his arm was still around me and we were flushed against each other. The teacher kept coming up to us though, even though Emm, Rose, Alice and Jaz were sitting much the same way, so I moved over to Alice and Edward was sitting in front of us. Edward tried to show me what Alice was seeing since his view of the book was upside down, but it was hazy since we haven't put that much practice into doing something like that.
I managed to get forty problems done though when the bell rang, leaving forty to do for homework. I was a little curious when Alice said that I should stay here at school with Edward and Jasper to finish my homework in study hall instead of going home like we usually do. I wasn't given much of a choice really when both Edward and Jasper grasped one of my arms and lead me off to a classroom that was used for study hall. I was confused as to why they were doing this but I just let them drag me along. Usually there is no talking allowed in study hall, but the teacher, like everyone else, knew about me so he allowed us to sit in a corner by ourselves so they could help me as long as we kept our noise level down.
Like the rest of the family Jasper was really good at math, due to all of their practice, but he seemed to be naturally good at it like Edward is with Biology. Jasper had some trouble explaining the math to me at first, since he is so quiet and doesn't talk much, but he was so straight forward with the explanation that I found myself understanding it a bit better. Thanks to Edward's gift I could watch as Jasper did example problems and to allow myself to see what I was writing. By the end of class the math was a more easily translatable version of Greek to me. More importantly I finished the assignment.
After we stopped at each other's respective lockers we headed to Edward's Volvo. "We have to stop by the hospital first. I promised Esme that I would drop something off at the hospital for Carlisle," Edward said. I nodded to let him know that I was fine with that. I was confused once again as we just sat in the car, Jasper was behind me in the back seat.
I listened as the other cars left the parking lot, usually we are the first ones to leave but today it sounded as if we were the last ones to leave. I didn't say anything as we finally started our way to the hospital. I did notice however that Edward appeared to be driving slower than usual for it felt and sounded different. "Is there something wrong," I asked concerned.
"Why do you say that," Edward asked but something about his tone was off, different.
"I'm sure you're aware of what I'm thinking, but I am wondering if there is something wrong because we left school at the end of the day and not at the end of gym as usual. Second it sounded as if we were the last ones to leave the parking lot instead of close to the first. Third if I'm right you're not going the speed limit," I pointed out.
"I never go the speed limit though," Edward said acting oblivious to why I was asking so many questions.
"I know that but this time you are going under the speed limit, probably by at most five miles an hour, you are going under not over," I said. "The motor sounds as if it is not working as hard as it does when you drive fast and it sounds too soft to be the speed limit forty."
"Well the street is quite busy and crowded," Edward said.
"Funny it doesn't sound that way. I haven't heard a single car pass us so if you wanted to you could pass anyone in front of us like you usually do," I continued to push the issue.
"Maybe you are mistaken," he said his tone nonchalant.
"I'm blind not deaf. My ears were pretty sharp to begin with and now that my sight isn't in the way, so to speak, they are even keener so I know what and what I don't hear," I said as I crossed my arms across my chest. I heard Jasper let out some chuckles under his breath and I heard and felt Edward reach back and try to slap him. I just sighed and turned on the radio. Edward had a Debussy CD in so it started playing where it left off.
We arrived at the hospital and Edward got out of the car. "Funny, I didn't hear him take anything with him," I told Jasper. He made a small noise like an 'hn' but otherwise said nothing.
"Fine then, keep your secrets," I said as I crossed my arms.
"I have many secrets that you will never know," he said his tone slightly taunting.
"Well as my job as your new little sister I will find them out and tease you about the embarrassing ones," I gleefully informed him.
I heard and felt him scoot forward in the seat and felt a hand on my head. He ruffled my hair as he said, "Good luck with that." I just knocked his hand away and tried to fix my hair then we sat back to wait for Edward to get back.
I'm not sure how long we waited for but Edward eventually came back. As we left the hospital I again noticed that Edward was still driving much slower than usual, the sounds of the city wasn't disappearing as quickly. Of course while we are in town he drove the speed limit as to not raise suspicions. Too soon we came to a stop after pulling in somewhere. It couldn't be home for we are still in the city. "Where are we? Do we have to make another stop," I asked. I didn't get an answer as they got out of the car. Edward opened the door and helped me out of the car. I immediately clamped on to his arm; I was worried and I didn't know where we were and the boys weren't answering me.
"Relax," Jasper said as he came up beside me. No doubt he was feeling my emotions, but I could not help it. I did not like not knowing where I was.
"I will once you tell me where we are," I said.
"We are at Maria's, happy now," Edward said as we walked through the door. Sure enough I heard Megan greet us. I relaxed a bit when I heard her voice, but I was wondering why we were here. I walked beside Edward since he had a hold on me and I of him. From what I can remember we were heading to one of the larger rooms that were for large gatherings. 'Why would we be going back there?' Edward thanked Megan as I heard her walk away. I heard the door open and we walked through.
"SURPRISE," I heard several voices shout. I let out a small scream as I jumped, scared at the shout. I latched on to Edward even more and attempted to hide behind him, or more into his side. I heard him laugh a bit as he wrapped his arms around me. That was so not funny! I was terrified.
I pulled away a bit when I heard, "Surprise Carrie," from Alice as she tackled me in a hug.
"What is this," I asked as she released me.
"It's a surprise birthday party," Bella said. "There are people from school and the reservation here."
"Really," I asked as I received a hug from Bella.
"Really," Angela said as she gave me a hug as well. I turned to back to Edward and he again took me into his arms and he began to show me the room. There were balloons in every corner and a bunch scattered about. There were streamers pinned up everywhere. Across the back wall was a banner that said 'Happy Birthday Carrie' in large hand painted letters. Along the same wall were three tables that were filled with food from salads to pizza and various kinds of drinks. In the middle of the room was another table that had a three tiered cake that had a tie dye like affect going on with the frosting. Around the cake were presents placed on the table.
I could feel the tears start to build up behind my eyes. It really stung but I was so touched that all of these people would do this even though I don't really know them or hang out with them. Edward tightened his grip around me and the rest of my family gathered around. "What's wrong Carrie," Emmett asked. I could tell they were all worried, except probably Jasper since he could feel I was touched by this jester, about the water works.
"You did all of this for me? Why," I asked as I pulled away from Edward.
"Of course we did it because we all care about you," Alice said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world and to her it might have been. It is still hard to except that after all this time I now finally have people who care about me.
"Now come on and dry those tears. I, as the awesome DJ for the night think that it is time to get this party started," Eric said and upbeat music began to play. A laugh escaped me as Edward pulled me toward the area designated as the dance floor. I danced with him, Jacob, Eric, Mike, Tyler, Emmett and Jasper. I even danced with Sam, Seth and Quil along with a couple of others from La Push. Edward was a bit tense as I danced with them, but things worked out. I really don't see why they don't get along; they seem to do alright when I'm around. I know that there was some trouble between their species in the past but that shouldn't prevent them from getting along.
I was currently sitting in Edward's lap eating some pizza. Some people were sitting around and eating while others, Alice and Jasper included, were on the dance floor. Everyone appeared to be having a good time from what I could hear and what Edward would occasionally show me. Suddenly the music stopped playing and everyone turned toward the stereo to see the cause. Mike was standing there with Jessica hanging off of his arm. "Now don't get me wrong," he said, "but I think that it is about time that the birthday girl to blow out the candles and open some presents." His response was cheers from those that had gathered.
"Alright, that sounds good to me," I said. I heard everyone grab a seat and Alice, who was next to me now, got up to light the candles, which were sparklers. Somebody turned off the lights so the only light came from the candles, then everyone sang happy birthday. Edward and I stood up when they finished and walked up to the cake. He sent me a vision so I could blow at the candles, but made it appear as if he was helping me, guiding me to blow them out. When the candles were eventually blown cheers were made. I laughed as Edward pulled me toward him and placed a kiss on my lips. He pulled back over to the chair and back into his lap.
The cake was cut and people handed me there presents. The gifts I received were as such: Mike - basketball charm, Eric - a star charm, Tyler - football charm, Angela - books that were in brail, Jessica - a dress charm and designer sunglasses, Leah - feathered hair pieces, Sam - baked goods from his girlfriend Emily, Paul - a hand woven tunic with wolves as a decorative border, Bella and Jacob - over twenty different Indian chokers, Seth - a giant grey wolf stuffed animal, Quil - some shawls and quilts, along with some other things from other people in attendance and some last minute ones from my former co-workers.
"Well that does it for all of your presents," Rosalie said.
"But you guys didn't get her anything," Mike said confused.
"Who said that we didn't get her anything? Besides she is so hard to shop for," Alice said in a teasingly way.
"Actually I have something to give," Edward said. He removed his right arm from around me and I felt him reach into his pocket and bring his arm back around. Slowly he showed me that he was holding a small jewelry box. There were some gasps as the small box was seen. I moved my hands over his arms and down to his hands. I took the box from his hands and slowly opened the box. I gasped as I ran my fingers over what was inside, which I did to keep up appearances. Inside the box was the necklace that I had thought I lost, but here it was. The dolphins were still facing each other with the topaz heart in the middle. The chain felt different though, smoother, more delicate but stronger at the same time. "I had a little something added," Edward said as he took the necklace out of the box. He set it my hand and flipped it over so that the back was up. A ran my finger along the back and could faintly feel something different. "Our names are on the back of the dolphins. Mine is on the right and yours on the left. The only thing that I have left to give her is forever," Edward said. The girls present let out awes at what he said while I heard some guys make gagging sounds.
"Isn't that sweet of you," I said then I kissed him on the cheek. This was probably the most thoughtful thing anyone had ever done for me.
"I mean it," he said as he tapped me on the nose. However something was on the end of his finger and was left on my nose. I brought my hand up to wipe it away and discovered that it was frosting; he put frosting on my nose! I heard some people laugh at what he did while I lightly scowled, but I kept a smile on my face.
"I know you do," I said as I leaned toward him as to kiss him on the lips. I felt him move forward as well. What he didn't know was that I had grabbed what was left of my cake and when I felt that he was close enough I smashed it in his face. Everyone laughed as what I did, as did I. I leaned forward though and placed a small kiss on his frosting covered lips as an apology of sorts.
"You know that you aren't supposed to do that until your wedding," Jessica said teasingly.
"Who said I had to wait to get married to do that," I said.
"As entertaining this is, Jacob and I still have our gift to give," Emmett said.
"Really, what is it," I asked eagerly.
"Come on its outside," Emmett said as he grabbed hold of my hand, now cleaned of frosting, and helped me to stand. I heard the other following us and murmuring about what it could be. We arrived outside and it was a bit cooler out now and the wind had picked up a little bit. It felt as if a storm was coming in. We were standing there and I was about to ask Emmett what my present was when I heard a motor approaching.
It wasn't any motor but a motorcycle motor. I heard the motor come to a stop in front of us and shut off. "Surprise," Jacob said. Edward came up beside me and showed me that Jacob was sitting on a motorcycle. Jacob for some reason was really blurry for some reason, like the focus wasn't on him, but I didn't ponder on that for long, I was too excited.
"I was talking with Bella earlier when we were setting up and Jacob overheard that you always wanted a motorcycle. He mentioned that he had a motorcycle so we came up with the idea of him giving you a ride since you can't drive it yourself," Emmett said. I made a sound of excitement and wrapped my arms around Emmett as much as I could, while thanking him profusely.
He led me over to the bike and helped me on behind Jake and put a helmet on my head. "Hang on tight," Jacob said as I got situated. He made sure my legs were in the proper place then turned the motor back on. I tightened my grip around him as I felt us begin to move. It was a wonderful experience; the wind through my hair (what was hanging out of the helmet), the feel of the power that was underneath me. I heard us going through the town and then felt Jake pour on the gas as we hit the freeway.
All too soon Jacob pulled back in the parking lot to Maria's. Jacob parked the bike and helped me to get off. "Thank you so much," I said as I hugged him in thanks.
"Anytime," he said. He lead me back over to where the others were standing, I still had a huge smile on my face from the ride. Edward took me into arms and he felt tense so I wrapped my arms around him in reassurance. We all headed back in and finished the party. Surprisingly enough we were there until closing time. After saying good bye to everyone and loading up my presents we got into the vehicles and headed home. We got home and Esme and Carlisle greeted us and asked us about our day. Since I ate at the party I didn't have anything for dinner. I was exhausted so after saying goodnight to everyone I went up to my room and went to bed.
The next morning Esme woke me up and served me breakfast in bed. Apparently over night we had a snow storm so there were a couple of inches of fresh snow on the ground. Carlisle asked me if there was anything that I wanted to do today. I asked if we could all go outside and play in the snow. And we did, after breakfast we all got changed and headed out to the clearing that we were in before. We went sledding, and had snow ball fights. I asked if I could snow board so Emmett carried me up to the top of the hill. When he was set up and ready to go he pulled me toward him and I stood on the board, my feet next to his on the inside; He held on as he slowly worked his way to the edge and we were soon going down the hill. It felt a little awkward the two of us on one board but it was fun none the less. After we did that a few times Edward put me on my own board and I went down a small hill on my own. It was quite hard and I kept falling into the snow but I had fun.
When it started snowing again we headed home. Esme made some soup for lunch and afterwards I opened the presents they gave me, which was mainly clothes, but they were expensive designer clothes. They even gave me a couple of ball gowns, even though I don't know when I would wear them. There were also several articles of jewelry. Since it was still snowing we decided to stay in. Edward put on music by my favorite groups and we had our own little party. It was a really enjoyable time and I was happy that I could spend it with my wonderful family.
(Sorry the party with the family is kind of short but I didn't expect for the other party to take so long, and I was short on ideas ^_^).
